TPI setup different than most

Anyone ever seen one of these before?? or know how it would preform?? Looks like if you added some injector holes you could use any 4bbl intake you wanted. Anyone know where you may be able to get one?

Wasn't that a custom made piece from the C4 vet forum? There are quite a few of these floating around. Not all look like this though.
Kinda like installing a mini ram

Guy posted some pics up of it on FB. Claims its good for 700 hp with a 58mm TB on it. Not sure i believe that but may be worth a shot fabbing one up. I got a spare 4bbl intake laying around. May build one and slap on the 87 and see what happens. Wouldn cost anything but some intake gaskets.

He means it will support up to, and there are too many variables to say yay or nay. I don't see why it wouldn't, so long as it is ported properly, heads flow excellent, and cam is good for well over 6000+RPM, it's just a matter of engine displacement then...
